The Spanish came to central America and delivered diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza to the Aztecs. The Aztecs, unlike the Spanish, were definitely not immune to the diseases and caught them, making them weak and forcing them to lose the battle between them.Although the Aztecs captured and sacrificed many of the Spanish, the Spanish resulted in taking over the capital city of Tenochtitlan and defeating all the Aztecs.The Spanish at one point tried to spread the Catholic religion throughout Mexico, forcing Aztecs to learn more about God and the Bible. If children didn't learn their lesson about it, they were punished. They were forced to stop worshiping their gods and celebrating their festivals.They were also made to work in Spanish mines or on estates.

The Spanish thought that the Aztec's were crazy because they sacrificed living human flesh a held the human's beating heart up to the sky , then ironically burned thousands a…live at the stake. - He called the gods devils and evil things. Conquistador Hernando Cortes retreated his station because he was afraid the Aztecs would do this to him or his crew. .

1. They were more advanced. 2. They had better weapons and were better armored. 3. They had the help of nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs. 4. They brought over disease… that the Aztecs did not have cures for.

It effected Spain all right. They had gained control of one of mexicos most powerful sociatys. They had more land, lots of gold had been gained the Aztects being put as slaves… in the gold mines and almost all of their culture destroyed by Spanish Missonarys...

The native people lost their lands, homes, crops to the spanish. the natives lost their lives because they were murdered, tornted and haunted down. they lost there culture th…ere political structure was destroyed.

This is easy. When the Spanish came to America in conquest, everything was peaceful until the Aztecs started to get diseases that they were immune yo and they realized that t…he conquestadors came to CONQUEST, not to make peace. Hope this helps.
